Abstract

This study deals with psychological effects on the job burnout for nurses in a general hospital. The survey was conducted from May 2th to 16th, 2018, and the participants were a total of 109 nurses who were registered in two general hospitals. The survey results were analyzed by frequency, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 22.0 software. The findings in this study indicated that the factors affecting the job burnout were religion, education level, organizational commitment and emotional regulation ability, explaining 27% of the variance in the regression model. Therefore, high organizational commitment and emotional regulation ability are necessary to attenuate job burnout for nurses in a general hospital. The perception and empowerment of the organizational commitment and emotional regulation ability can be learned empirically, and thus professional and systematic education programs are needed to develop it.
